And Still I Rise
[edit]- ... that many of the poems in Maya Angelou's And Still I Rise focus on a hopeful determination to rise above difficulty and discouragement?

admirable detailed well-written article on good sources, offline sources accepted AGF. Article: I would prefer to see the image of the author on the right, because she looks to the left. The poem that is quoted in the book title appears under more than one title. Hook: I confess that I find it too general to interest me. Also the inline citation is not right after it. I suggest to word something about the book title being used for the fund. Open for your ideas. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:37, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. Moved image over. I don't know what you mean about the title; "Still I Rise" is one of Angelou's most famous poems, so it's been reprinted often. The problem with using your suggestion is that the fund only used the one poem, not the entire volume, which is what the article is about. I changed the text so that the citation is clearer. Here are some other options:
- ALT2: ... that And Still I Rise was published during one of the most productive periods in writer Maya Angelou's career?
- ALT3: ... that two of Maya Angelou's most famous poems are in her third volume of poetry, And Still I Rise? Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 22:59, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
, ALT3 preferred. Offline sources accepted AGF. I don't see the "problem" with my suggestion, because the "one poem" is the title, but like ALT3, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:28, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
